Reps. Royce and Honda Support Sec. Norman Mineta for the Congressional Gold MedalToday, U.S. Representatives Ed Royce (R-Calif.) and Mike Honda (D-Calif.) introduced legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Norman Yoshio Mineta, a former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, U.S. Representative, and Mayor of San Jose, California.
“Since the American Revolution, Congressional Gold Medals have been commissioned to show our nation’s highest expression of gratitude to those who have contributed greatly to our country.

Royce Questions Chair White on Cumulative Impact of SEC RegulationsToday, U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Calif.) questioned U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Mary Jo White about the cumulative impact of Commission regulations during a House Financial Services Committee hearing entitled “Examining the SEC’s Agenda, Operations, and FY 2018 Budget Request.”
“The focus of the SEC originally was, and I think should continue to be, the strength and resilience of our markets. That is critical to economic growth, to the jobs that are created thereby. When it comes to capital markets lending, I've got a question about the last few years... because we've had a lot of major regulatory changes, such as risk retention, accounting changes, prudential changes with new capital and liquidity rules, new disclosure regimes, and automated trading platforms. And all of this is occurring at the same time," said Rep. Royce
"European regulators have raised concerns about how these new regulations fit together. Specifically, on his way ou

Rep. Royce Protects CalGuard BonusesToday, U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) cosponsored the VET Bonus Act (H.R. 6316), legislation to stop U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) efforts to reclaim bonuses rightfully paid to California National Guard members.
“Bonus payments made in good faith to CalGuard members shouldn't be touched. These soldiers shouldn't be punished for serving their country,” said Rep. Royce.
On October 22, 2016, the Los Angeles Times reported that nearly 10,000 soldiers in the California National Guard had been ordered to repay enlistment bonuses of $15,000 or more by DoD. Shortly thereafter, Rep. Royce wrote Defense Secretary Ash Carter to request a suspension of his Department's attempts to clawback such bonuses.
The VET Bonus Act, authored by U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Modesto), dictates that:
• Bonuses paid between 2004 and 2010 in good faith shall not be subject to repayment to DoD unless the recipient committed fraud or did not satisf

House passes two sanctions bills, sending foreign policy message on Iran and SyriaHouse passes two sanctions bills, sending foreign policy message on Iran and Syria
The House laid down markers Tuesday as to how it will try to shape foreign policy going into the new administration by passing two sanctions bills: one targeting Iran, the other Syria.
The House overwhelmingly passed a 10-year extension of the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) by a vote of 419 to 1. The ISA forms the basis for energy, banking and defense sanctions against Iran’s nuclear and missile activities, and was set to expire at the end of the year.
The House also passed by voice vote a measure imposing new sanctions on anyone who provides the Syrian government with financial, material or technological support — a category that includes Russia and Iran — in an effort to “halt the wholesale slaughter of the Syrian people.”
The Obama administration had sought to delay both measures, though the president never threatened a veto, and President-elect Donald Trump has yet to weigh in on eithe
